The task of the drain is to protect the building from waterlogging for a long time, to prevent its destruction due to rains and snowfalls. The Metal Profile system fully meets these requirements. The buyer has the opportunity to choose a design that matches the style of the house, its color scheme, design and planned budget.
General requirements for the drainage system
The gutter has three functions:
- protects the roof, walls, foundation and plinth from the adverse effects of precipitation;
- collects moisture generated on the roof as a result of rain and snow;
- removes water from the walls.
The quality of work is determined by the strength and tightness of the incoming elements. It depends on the reliability of the fastening and the ability of the structure to quickly collect and remove water and snow.
The gutter system includes the following parts:
- troughs for collecting liquid;
- guide funnels;
- debris protection nets;
- outlet pipes;
- corners, mounts, holders;
- stubs.
Drainages from the following materials are popular:
- copper;
- Cink Steel;
- polymers;
- galvanized metal with a polymer coating.
Copper castings do not corrode and serve for an almost unlimited period of time. The high price of the structure narrows its application to the owners of mansions with large incomes.
The polymer system is not afraid of scratches and corrosion. Its disadvantage is that the material does not have enough strength to cope with liquid flows and snow avalanches.
Metal gutters work well under stress. Lack of tendency to deterioration by corrosion. Through the slightest scratch, the metal becomes covered with rust, which grows rapidly, as a result of which the gutter collapses.
The optimal solution for drainage structures is galvanized metal with a polymer coating. It combines steel strength with high corrosion resistance. In some respects, the level of protection of the material is close to that of copper.
Advantages and disadvantages of Metal Profile drainage systems
Metal Profile products are the leaders in the gutter structure market. Regardless of the option chosen, all enterprise systems combine the following characteristics:
- Durability: the service life of the structure reaches 50 years.
- The gutter has a high strength and resistant to mechanical stress coating. The branches of a tree will not be able to break its integrity.
- Ebb tides easily tolerate temperature extremes, while they do not change their linear dimensions and do not lose strength.
- Several color options. The gutter will harmoniously fit into the existing tonality of the building. When choosing a contrasting color, it will become a unique design element.
- The interchangeability of parts allows you to effortlessly perform installation in the presence of damage, quickly repair or remove a defective assembly.
There is one insignificant drawback: the shower is accompanied by droplets along the metal profile. This sound is comparable to the sound of rain on the roof. He usually does not irritate a person, on the contrary, it acts soothingly.
Types of drainage systems of the Metal Profile company
The enterprise was opened in 1997.Extensive experience in the manufacture of roof drainage materials allowed the specialists to achieve high results and enter the market with five commercial proposals at once. They are designed for small buildings, industrial buildings and large offices. The difference between systems in price and technical characteristics.
Gutter structure "MP Prestige"
The metal profile is designed for private households. Consists of semicircular galvanized gutters with double-sided PURMAN / Plastisol coating, 100 microns thick. Installation is carried out without sealant and rivets.
It is supplied to the retail network in two standard sizes.
The reliability of the structure and the absence of overflows is ensured by the optimal ratio of the cross-sectional area of the gutter and the diameter of the pipe.
MP Modern system
Reinforced steel holders with a thickness of 4 mm are used for attaching the drainage system. They are powder coated to increase corrosion resistance and give them an attractive appearance.
The high price of the modern metal profile drainage system is explained by its operational characteristics. A reinforced plastisol layer is applied to the galvanized steel. Compared to Prestige, the gutter has a higher capacity. The excellent appearance is combined with the high strength of the system.
Gutter "GRANDSYSTEM"
The peculiarity of the metal profile is a multilayer polymer coating Colorcoat with a thickness of 35 microns applied on both sides. It additionally protects the gutter from weathering, mechanical damage and ultraviolet solar radiation, and provides high performance characteristics.
The section of the metal profile is round. The popularity of the design is due to the optimal combination of price and quality.
Drain MP "Budget"
The drainage system will be the best solution for a low-budget private household. The figured shape of the metal profile maintains a high throughput, overflows are excluded. To protect the metal on both sides, polyester with a thickness of 25 microns is applied to galvanized steel.
Features of MP Budget: low price and the ability to order and install a profile of any popular color.
MP "Project" system
Gutter The project is designed for large buildings with several floors and industrial structures. The increased throughput is achieved due to the large cross-sectional dimensions of the metal profile. Drainage is distinguished by high strength, resistance to ultraviolet light, corrosion and mechanical damage.
Features of gutter installation
All accessories for the gutter system are made from interchangeable parts. A prerequisite for reliable operation is compliance with the requirements dictated by the instructions for installing the metal profile drainage system. The modular design, universal locks and holders, and reliable fasteners simplify the assembly process and reduce the time required for it.
Installation of structures of circular and shaped cross-section differs only in connection technology. The cylindrical grooves are overlapped with the subsequent closure of the assembly site with a sealing element. The connection of the Art Nouveau profile is carried out using rivets and sealant, but this does not affect the water permeability of the system.
In order for the liquid to leave the metal profile by gravity, the gutter is installed with a slope towards the outlet pipe. The angle is 3 mm per 1 m of the structure. The holders are mounted 0.5 m apart from each other.
The cost of drainage depends on the chosen model and the characteristics of the residential building. Roughly for a building with an area of one hundred squares, it varies between 15-25 thousand rubles.
